About Jennifer
Jennifer Reed-Grimmett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia with 24 years of experience. She offers a straightforward, warm approach and aims to help people feel better now and build skills for the future. Jennifer listens first, then works with each person to set goals that matter to them. She emphasizes being nonjudgmental, genuine, and plain-spoken so clients can say what they need to say.
Jennifer uses practical tools and calming exercises early on to reduce anxiety and stress. She often combines short-term strategies that bring immediate relief with longer-term work to change unhelpful patterns. Her style is collaborative - she helps people choose goals and stays involved as they practice new skills. Jennifer also describes herself as a coach and motivator who offers straightforward guidance.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, addictions, ADHD, and codependency. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, anger, relationship and intimacy-related struggles, career problems, and coping with life changes. She has experience with trauma, somatic complaints, and personality-related challenges.
Clients can expect a therapist who draws from several approaches to match what they need. Jennifer brings decades of clinical experience and background in criminal justice to inform some practical aspects of her work. She invites people to start by sharing their story so they can begin making changes together. If this fits, she guides the next steps toward scheduling and beginning therapy.
Background and approach: Jennifer emphasizes understanding each person’s history and current struggles. She uses techniques from evidence-based therapies while keeping language simple and clear. Early sessions often focus on building safety, coping skills, and quick strategies to help daily functioning. Over time she works with clients on deeper patterns related to attachment, behavior, and values so they can find more lasting peace and direction.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching ways to notice thoughts without getting controlled by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete skills to reduce worry, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people form more secure ways of relating and feeling safe with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs and goals. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps most, combining short-term coping skills with deeper pattern work when appropriate.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel time, fitting appointments around work, or choosing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It also lets people try different tools between meetings and bring what they learn into everyday situations. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT skills well to remote work, using exercises and homework that support progress between sessions.
